Music City Center

Music City Center is a 2,100,000-square foot gathering space featuring an exhibit hall, grand ball room, meeting rooms and parking complex.

Harris teamed with longtime partner Foley Company, to fabricate and install 2,400,000 pounds of sheet metal for the HVAC ductwork. Harris also furnished and installed 62 air handling units totaling more than 1,800,000 cubic feet per minute of ventilation.

The immense fabrication effort required 35,500 shop hours which was accomplished by Harris’ Utah fabrication facility and a local Nashville fabricator, Tennessee Sheet Metal. At the project’s peak, 80 tradespeople were on-site to install the manufactured sheet metal and ductwork.

BIM and 3-D technology, played a crucial role in successfully completing the project. Clash detection helped Harris solve problems early and coordinate with other trades to avoid issues in tight areas. Successful use of BIM helped reduce wasted time and resources and provided a productive means of communication between the trades.
